Saving lots to own library broken?

Did you by any chance use cc or photographs taken in game? If so you have to check the option to display custom content.

No photographs. Don't remember the CC, would need to check the originals. Does CC prevent the thing from appearing at all?

@Oldeseadogge if you used CC the lot won't show if you don't have the "display custom content", or however it's worded, checked. If you're not sure if you used CC then check that box & see if it shows.

Have checked, the lots that I think were them each had an item or 2 of CC. When in save to library mode noticed that the box containing the CC flag had the box checked but was also greyed out. The page itself has the wrench symbol in the upper left corner. Did a test save in case the greyed out checked box meant anything. Lot does not appear and the library itself thinks the template is present.

Removed the CC. Tried again and there was no difference either with what was seen on the data panel or in the results. Even with CC removed the lot was still considered to have CC in it. Very peculiar.

Thinking it over, there may be more CC in that lot than first supposed. It's a Castle Kit test, so there are several rooms and it's too late and I'm too tired to take the eyedropper to test the whole lot. Still, flagged should mean flagged.

Just did another layer of testing, a basic house shell of 4 walls, 2 floors, roof, foundation, entry door, stairs, and minimal dividing into rooms. Did a trial of saving to library and it actually appears. The 'modded' box could be checked or unchecked as needed.

Logic says that if the 'modded' box is checked then the building should appear as Starfree says. Is it possible that the gallery/library won't accept anything with CC regardless of the checked status of the box?

Are debug items considered CC?

Thanks in advance!

When I was playing on PC (before I switched to console) I could save Sims and Lots with mods and CC, but I had trouble SEEING them. They were THERE, but I had to mess around with settings and check boxes to be able to SEE them. In your problem solving research, I would focus on issues involving VIEWING more than SAVING. Good Luck!!!

I have not have issues with debug items in general, but with some craftables/collection items.

Like with few furniture made with woodwork bench. (my sim did not made them, I took them from debug catalog), saved lot with TOTALLY empty mods-folder.. got CC wrench.

but I admit, it was some time ago.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That did the trick! Never noticed that gallery/library box, let alone checked it. Checked the box and all lots appeared, each attempt's worth. And over 50 sims, several of which are special favorites that I have no idea how to create again. It was like an instant explosion of content. You solved the unsolvable to me mystery! Such a small and simple yet vital thing.

I haven't been able to save lots to Library for well over a year now. I end up having to save them to Gallery with numerous caps lock disclaimers that they are Game Saves only and I am not claiming the work as my own. Even so I've still had people throw a fit for me 'stealing' content, even though I plaster my Gallery saves with disclaimers like 'not my work', 'not for download' 'game save only' 'uploaded for game reset', etc etc. It is rather tiresome and I'd much rather just have them in my Library.

That seems odd. Probably worth heading to AHQ for, if the CC tick mark isn't making it show up. There shouldn't be anything you can upload to the Gallery that you can't also save to your Library.

Currently what I am noticing is if I place a lot from the Gallery (even My Library) I get that annoying notice this lot was made with MOO or placed with MOO. Hello, I don't use that tool EVER. But to find lots I've placed there, I almost always click the box for cc, whether I used it or not. Especially, if I can't find what I just saved.
